Background Tasks Bulk Actions, Lombiq's MSBuild Targets improvements - This week in Orchard (09/10/2026)

Tired of enabling or disabling background tasks one by one? The Background Tasks admin list now has bulk actions, just like the Features list.

Ever changed an email/SMS or any other setting in the admin and wondered why the tenant had to reload for it to take effect? A new IOptionsMonitor refresh pipeline updates site settings-backed options without a shell release.

And how much of your module's project file is the same boilerplate as every other module's? Our custom MSBuild SDKs for Orchard Core handle references and package management for you.

This week's changes come from Mike Alhayek, with a demo by Sára El-Saig.

Orchard Spring Harvest Challenge - Results
On the last (third) day of this year's Orchard Harvest we announced the results of the Orchard community's second module development competition, the Orchard Spring Harvest Challenge. The amount of submissions may be small ("only" 6), though in quality they certainly made up for it. The top 3 places are the following: MiniProfiler by Daniel Dabrowski Inline Editing by Matías Molleja Dynamic Forms by Cybage Software Pvt. Ltd. Congratulations to all participants! We also had the opportunity to bring in Daniel, the author of the winner module via Skype to the conference, where he did a live demonstration of the capabilities of the MiniProfiler module. For more information and the details about the event please visit its website and see the "Rules" page. If you'd like to know more about the last Orchard Harvest, you may want to read our reports written on-site about each day: Orchard Harvest - Day 1 Orchard Harvest - Day 2 Orchard Harvest - Day 3 Happy Orcharding until next time!

Orchard Spring Harvest Challenge has begun!
In case you haven't heard from the Lombiq content network and its neighbours, a module competition named Orchard Spring Harvest Challenge has begun yesterday! The aim of this contest is to give Orchard module developers some more motivation to upgrade their old modules to Orchard 1.8, or create new ones that are compatible with latest version of Orchard. You can find more information on the event's (DotNest-hosted) website.
